Blurb
They say the camera never lies.
But on this show, you can't trust anything you see.
Stranded in the Welsh mountains, seven reality show contestants have no idea what they've signed up for.
Each of these strangers has a secret. If another player can guess the truth, they won't just be eliminated - they'll be exposed live on air. The stakes are higher than they'd ever imagined, and they're trapped.
The disappearance of a contestant wasn't supposed to be part of the drama. Detective Ffion Morgan has to put aside what she's watched on screen, and find out who these people really are - knowing she can't trust any of them.
And when a murderer strikes, Ffion knows every one of her suspects has an alibi . . . and a secret worth killing for.
My Opinion
I have read this book as a standalone but that didn't spoil my ability to follow the book, although I have missed out on some of the background. Clare Mackintosh has come up with an idea for what sounds like an awful reality show, but it really does make for an interesting plot. All of the characters would like to prevent their secret from getting out - but how far will they go?
This was my first introduction to Mackintosh's writing but I have to say that I am impressed. Having read this, I feel like I have to go back and read book one but I know that I am looking forward to seeing what Clare writes next.
Rating 4/5
